Epicor ERP Remains a Top Choice for Modern Enterprise Solutions
As seasoned ERP consultants at EstesGroup, we’ve been part of the Epicor journey since the groundbreaking release of version 10.1, which marked a significant milestone in enterprise software development. Looking back at that 2016 release while examining where we are today offers valuable insights into Epicor’s commitment to innovation and stability.
The 10.1 Foundation: A Game-Changing Release
When Epicor 10.1 launched following an extensive beta testing period with select customers, it set new standards for ERP functionality. While extended beta cycles sometimes signal development challenges, 10.1’s lengthy testing phase proved to be a strategic decision that resulted in a remarkably stable and feature-rich platform. The improvements over version 10 were substantial, introducing capabilities that still form the backbone of many features we use today.
Flexibility Meets ERP Functionality: Then and Now
What made Epicor 10.1 special – and what continues to distinguish the Epicor Kinetic ERP platform today – is its commitment to providing feature-rich, customizable ERP solutions that work for everyone. The architecture introduced in 10.1 established the foundation for both cloud-based and on-premises deployment options, a flexibility that has become increasingly valuable in today’s hybrid work environments.
The Cloud Revolution: From Vision to Reality
Back when 10.1 was released, we were just beginning to see the potential of cloud deployment in ERP systems. Today, that potential has been fully realized. While all ERPs should help you reduce costs, streamline operations, and boost profitability, the cloud-based solutions that Epicor pioneered with version 10.1 have revolutionized how we think about enterprise software.
The thousands of companies that took a chance on cloud technology during the 10.1 era have proven the model’s success. What was once considered innovative – running entire business processes in real-time, accessible from anywhere in the world – is now an essential business requirement.
Beyond “App Sprawl”: The Unified Platform Vision
One of 10.1’s major achievements was addressing the challenge of application sprawl. This vision – replacing multiple standalone applications with a unified platform – has become even more relevant today. Modern Epicor solutions build on this foundation, offering even more comprehensive integration capabilities.
Why We’ve Trusted Epicor Since 10.1
When version 10.1 was released, Epicor had already spent 25 years leading the industry. Today, with even more experience under their belt, Epicor Kinetic ERP solutions reflect:
- Decades of continuous research and development
- Deep industry knowledge that predates and includes the cloud revolution
- Thousands of successful implementations worldwide
- An innovation roadmap that began with 10.1 and continues to evolve
The Evolution of Business Process Integration
Looking back at 10.1’s release – which included significant features like Planning Contract and Package Control – we can see how Epicor anticipated many of today’s business needs. The platform’s ability to adapt and grow has only improved since then, making it an even more integral part of modern business operations.
